Anellotech and Johnson Matthey to develop catalysts for bio-based aromatics production

Feb 4 15

Anellotech and Johnson Matthey Process Technologies have entered into an alliance to jointly develop advanced catalyst systems for the production of bio-based aromatics. The new catalyst systems will be used in Anellotech's catalytic fast pyrolysis process for the production of bio-based benzene, toluene and paraxylene for the chemical industry. As part of the deal, the firms will collaborate on the technical development of an optimal catalyst for Anellotech's CFP process, the supply of high-quality catalysts manufactured for use in the testing and development of the CFP process, and manage subsequent commercial implementation. Anellotech develops new technologies to create low-cost, green bio-based chemicals from non-food biomass, while the UK firm supplies catalysts, licensed technologies and other services to the petrochemical, syngas, oil refining and gas processing industries.
